                                               LN- Writing a Letter





               Learning Objectives: The students will be able to:


                   •  Identify the types of letters and their format

                   •  Encouraging them to improve their communication and
                       social skills


                   Explanation: A letter is a written message that can be

                   handwritten or printed on paper. It is usually sent to the
                   recipient via mail or post in an envelope, although this

                   is not a requirement as such. There are two types of

                   letter: a) Formal letter

                                                        b) Informal letter


               a) Formal letter: Formal Letters also known as official letters . We

               use official language in it. Ex: leave application, letters to Higher

               Authorities, and Letters to Newspapers.


               b) Informal letter: Informal Letters are known as Social letters,
               include Friendly Letters and Notes of Invitations to friends and

               families. Ex : birthday invitation, house warming party, letter to

               mother etc.

               Activity: Write a leave application to your school principal applying

               for three days leave.
